There is a superstition among the

Programmes for Decoration Day.
A General Holiday Throughout
the City.
Decoration day will probably be OBJ
served in Minneapolis more generally
and with more elaborate preparation
than ON any day in its history. There
will be two combined services-in the
morning at Maple hill on the East side,
and in the afternoon at Layman's GEM
etery. The complete programme for
each has already been printed in the
GLOBE, and will be exactly observed.
Thousands of persons will participate
in these two ObServanceS, and hundreds
of others will go quietly in the morning
and place flowers on the graves of their
own dead. To thousands of others the
day will be merely public holiday, and
will be enjoyed as such, without a
thought of the event the day commence
rates. Banks and all public Offices
will be closed, and commercial and
manufacturing affairs will be sus-
pended, giving holiday to their
employees. Sports and picnics will Gu
riOuSly contrast with solemn services at
the cemeteries. For the disingaged
there are numerous attractionsfn the

the theaters will present new bills. A
game of cricket between st. Paul and
Minneapolis will be played on the
ground at the Milwaukee short line
Junction. The Minneapolis league
team will play ball at st. Paul, and there
will be dozen minor games all over
the city. In the evening the main at
traction will be the meeting of the
feather-weight champions at Washing

there will be the usual holiday rush for
the lakes and Out-of-tOwn resorts. The
methods of diversion are so many and

years reveal the deeper significance and
wider bearings of that work. The story
OF the civil war is familiar to all, but
patriotism no more wearies of its repeti-
ton than does religion. of the story of
the cross. Liberty joined battle with
slavery, justice with oppression, the
sentiment of brotherhood with the spirit
of caste, the doctrine of nationality with
the hereSy of notification, union with
secession. With varying fortunes the
contest went on, but the issue proved
that the saying OF. Emerson was right:
1.-The world stands on IDEAS and not on
iron or cotton; and the iron of iron, the
fire of fire, the ether and source of all
the elements is moral force" The
war demonstrated that this is Union.
The purpose of God was originally writ
ten in the physical structure of this
country. 1t was not intended i'll the
counsels of nature that two or three
independent and perhaps hostile
nations should occupy the soil of
the United States. The purpose written
in land and river was also indicated
from time to time i'll history; its final
and browning demonstration was made
on the fields of the civil war. Here
also were shown the stability and per-
manency of republican institutions.
Here an impulse was given to the cause
of popular government throughout the
world. The brotherhood of the race
was illustrated. The spirit of humanity
working deep under all creeds, protest
ing against all conventionalitieS, finally
shattered all distractions and demanded
liberty for every one in whom Gods
image Shone, however dimly. The war
gave additional proof of the weakness
and doom of oppression and wrong, and
afforded new hope of the final triumph
of righteousness. The old prophets
would have been glad if they
could have witnessed this new
application of their predictions.
Upon every soldier of the Union,
as well as upon the Great Master him.

deliverance to the captives and bid the

hosts. They will answer another roll call.

But the work they have done will last.
The Union they helped to preserve will

will go down to children's children of
the slaves whose ShackleS they broke.
With those who sleep in unmarked

TEST OF CHRISTIANITY.
A Short Sermon in Which the
Christian Plan is Outlined.

Il lul1 Is
The following is an abstract of the
sermon preached by Rev. F. w. Bake
man, d. D., of Chelsea, Mass, at the
Centenary Methodist church yesterday
morning:
Text: Eph. w., %. ''Let him that
stole steal no more"
This plain and simple sentence re-
vealS i'll outline and suggestion the dis
tinctive characteristics of Christianity
The whole spirit of the Christian re-
ligiOn is Swallowed forth in this injunc-
ton. 1t is to be religion of fact, not
theory; of life, not form. Its tests are
to be real and tangible, not ideal nor
mystical. In the church of apostolic
times the great proof of genuineness
was the change of character manifested
in the converts. This Injunction to the
EpheSian Christians reveals to us the
outline of several great truths Of
Christianity.
FirSt-It suggests that Christianity is
prominently the religion of right life.
Its chief distinction and final test lie in
the fact that its first demand is for
righteous life. Great as is the stress
laid upon doctrine, a strong emphasis is
put upon the importance of holy living
as test of true faith.
Second-A second suggestion is that
the end which the Christian religion has
in view is the perfection of human
character and absolute holiness. To
overcome the habit of stealing was the
first step towards the complete mastery
over any desire or temptation to steal.
The whole New Testament exists for
the sake of moral character.
Third-We see also that the final tests
ofC hristianity care practical, not doc
trinal, nor emotional, nor ecclesiastical.
The most convincing proof of real
change of heart is in the fact of changed
habits of life; forSaking of sin;
turning to righteousness.

AT MINNETONKA.

A steady gale blew at Minnetonka all
day yesterday, making boating more
dangerous than pleasant. Quite large
number of people visited the lake, but
owing to the high wind and the cool
weather there was little comfort and no
sport, and the fortunate people were
those who remained in the city. A few
venturesome sailors were out, but
their sails were close reefed, and
the boats carried extra ballast. Fishers
sought the protection of high banks and
their success was Indifferent, but few
fine strings being caught. The waves
were remarkably high in the upper
lake; in crossing from Flatiron point to
Spring Park row boat half filled with
water, the waves breaking over the bow
when the boat was headed to the wind.
The. oarsmen were completely drenched.
Arriving at the Park boat house they
baled out, only to be flooded again in
crossing from Spring Park to Shady
Isle.

Notes.
At meeting of the First Presbyter-
ian church and congregation yesterday,
after the morning service, unanimous
call was extended to Rev. w. A. AL
bright, of Auburn, n. Y, to locate here
as pastor. The church pledges salary
of $1,000 per year and $500 for travelling
expenses in removing to this place. 1t
is understood that the call will be ac-
cepted, and Mr.. Albright will probably
arrive here about June Is. The rever-
end gentlemen has been pastor OF the
Second Presbyterian church OF Auburn
for eight years, ever since he was OF
dained, and has the warmeSt recon-
mendationS from his church and peO-
pie, who see him leave with regret. He
took hold of their church when it was
in very bad financial condition, and
after the first year it has had no debt
and now has a membership of 400. Dr..
Stryker, of Minneapolis and others who
know him have warmly recommended
him. The church he now assumes the
paStorate of is also heavily in debt, and
since the death of Rev. DR.. Carroll, last
January, has been steadily losing
ground, and the action taken yesterday
is regarded by all as fortunate and
timely. MI. Albright, who visited here
